CUTTACK: In Cuttack district, where Covid surge continues unabated and critical patients face immense problems in availing life support, four ventilators installed at as many Community Health Centres (CHCs) in chronic kidney disease-prone Badamba and Narasinghpur blocks are yet to be made functional.

Ironically, it is Cuttack MP from Biju Janata Dal Bhartruhari Mahtab who had provided funds from his MP LAD fund for the ventilators but the equipment is lying idle.

There are similar divides over the societal impact from workplace automation using robotics.

Beliefs about the preventive health benefits from childhood vaccines, such as those for the measles, mumps and rubella, run the gamut from 84% saying they are high in Sweden to 49% saying the same in Russia. A median of 55% across the 20 publics rate the risk

As we enter the fourth quarter of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to shift the way travel brands and credit card companies stay relevant to consumers. Since many travelers are not able to use some of their more familiar miles, points or credit card benefits as they had hoped, creative alternatives are a welcome sight.

A recent American Express survey said that eight in ten people are starting to plan for future travel, and a slightly higher percentage are eager to re-engage with their preferred travel brand to help them do that. Just over half of the survey participants were especially interested in the health protocols that companies are taking to make their journey safe.
